Unhappily all that I recollect of the remarkable universe thus produced is that the geese had hoofs, and "clamped about like horses". Such was the awful consequence of creation by a No-God or nothing. In 1841 or 1842 I forget exactly the date I was sent to what is now the Modern School.
John Collins started a number of vague branches of what the Fourierites called the "no-God, no-government, no-marriage, no-money, no-meat, no- salt, no-pepper" system of community. Here John H. Noyes, under the guise of a new heaven on an old earth, established his foul community at Oneida.
Theirs is a better way than that of those who, believing there is a God, but not believing that he will give any answer to their prayers, yet pray to him; that is more foolish and more immoral than praying to the No-god. Whatever the God be to whom they pray, their prayer is a mockery of him, of themselves, of the truth.
The Persian employment of daeva for 'evil spirit' may be explained as a protest not against Indian gods, but against the deities of their own land; so the Hebrew prophets or their editors apply opprobrious names, "no-god" and other terms, to deities regarded by them as inadequate. The abstractions of the Mazdean system have been referred to above.
"No-God bless me!-you really surprise me,-why Vauxhall is the first pleasure in life!-I know nothing like it.-Well, Ma'am, you must have been with strange people, indeed, not to have taken you to Vauxhall. Why you have seen nothing of London yet. However, we must try if we can't make you amends."
They are the personal enemies of God. They have invested Nothingness with substance and personality, and their No-God is an Anti-God. And concerning that abject and ignoble saying, "If there were not a God it would be necessary to invent Him," we shall say nothing.
"How did he find out where she was?" "I don't know." "How drunk were you?" "I was not drunk." "How much had you drunk?" "About two bottles of claret nothing." "You say you didn't mean to kill him?" "No-God knows!" "That's something." "What made you choose the arch?" "It was the first dark place." "Did his face look as if he had been strangled?" "Don't!" "Did it?" "Yes." "Very disfigured?" "Yes."
